Hola, Bloggy Friends!

I'm so excited for the new followers and friends I've been fortunate enough to "meet" over the past week or so. (Except for you, the one who left me, whoever you are! But I won't stay bitter for long, I promise!)

And I'd like to tell you a little about myself. But I'm lazy. And STARVING. My husband and my mother-in-law went to pick up our Chinese food for dinner, and it's been way too long. They should be back by now. But it's cool, cause the wee one and I rolled some chocolate chip cookies up while father-in-law watched w. a beer nearby. Fun times. Lucky to love my ILs.

Anyway, about me ... you probably have read my header, and probably have skimmed some of my posts, and probably, well, if you're back here following me or stopping by now and then, you must have liked something, right?

I'm a not-quite-40-year-old-mommy of a 3-going on 13-year-old princess. I'm really not 40 yet, but I have about 2-1/2 (holy schnikies!) years to go before I get there. Oh, and a month. Cause my 1/2-birthday is in April. Late April. So I can't forget that month.

So right now my daughter is singing the alphabet for my FIL. And it goes, "Now I know my ABCs, next time won't my ABCs.' And now she's screaming her head off at him for fun. Oh, the joy of being in the torturous threes. Love it. I mean, gotta love it, right?

I relocated from NYC to NC almost four years ago. I was a child and family therapist (social worker) in NY after completing my masters while finishing up a 9 year (yes, you read that right, NINE) run in TAX publishing. Bored yet? And so, that's me, in a nutshell. Ah, and so I'm back. Did you miss me? Nope, right? Because if I didn't tell you I was gone you wouldn't have known! The Chinese food was depressing. The best place and they changed owners and now, well, it kind of sucks. But we did make decent chocolate chip cookies, and I think I'm going to have some strawberries and ReddiWhip for dessert. Yum.

I've been blogging for a little over a year, but have not yet hit my one-year-public-Blogiversary yet! I'm psyched about meeting new people and I love to talk about lots and listen to whatever is on your mind. I'm a loyal friend, an honest person, and I STILL don't drive. You still like me, right? I have diagnosed myself with PTSD when it comes to that, as the last driver's ed lesson I took some old guy ran a stop sign and crashed into me. And the instructor made me drive home. Which probably seemed like it was supposed to work, but for me made it worse. Stupid old guy. Stupid old guy instructor, too.

OK, enough about me. Tell me about YOU! Leave me one comment with one sentence about yourself. And say whatever else you need to say, too, of course. And no rules whatsoever on how long that sentence can or cannot be. Fun, right? ;)

I'm afraid of the dark. I sleep with a nightlight & I'm in my 30s. I know it's sad, but true. Plus, I'd never make it down the stairs without it so I pass it off as a pragmatic decision but really I'm a wuss.

Hey! I'm here! Via CCWA and I am following and I like you. I am too in NC and dabble in all sorts of stuff. MamaBirdNest(dot)com is my food/family/fun blog. I also am doing a weightloss blog Flab to Fab at katbirddiets.blogspot.com that as a therpist you could spend hrs going through all my issues!! HA! Love to get to know ya!! I'll be popping by regularly!

My masters is in psych but prior to primarily staying at home w/ the boys, I did juvenile probation. Do you ever miss working? I don't, generally, although I'm happy to get out to teach the classes once a week.

Thanks for the dose of friendship today, I really needed it. I am so inspired by you and all your recent endeavors. For all those reading this, Andrea is an amazing friend and an honest, real person and I am lucky to have her in my life (although I am an awful friend who doesn't know how to stay in touch :)!) Now than I'm about to leave the 9-5 lets see if I can improve!!

You know a lot about me already, but I betcha didn't know my 2-year blogoversary is coming. shit, i think it's tomorrow. or maybe wednesday. not sure which. not that i need to do anything special, but perhaps i should. hmmmm....
